During Ottawa University’s Homecoming football game on October 26, the Class of 1963 presented the University with a check for $67,500 towards the new library/student center. An additional gift brought the total contribution to $68,000.

The class celebrated its 50th reunion during Homecoming 2013 and raised the funds throughout the year under the direction of class members Brenda Hardin Melson, Nancy Schendel Morgan, Judy Fisher Gravitt, and Suzi Ireland McFadden.

“The Class of 1963 worked diligently to reach all class members as part of their 50th Reunion, which included reconnecting with many folks and finding 'lost' classmates," said Director of Alumni Programs Nori Hale. "Another outcome is this gift of appreciation for their Ottawa University experience. It is with deep gratitude that we accepted their Class Gift designated for the Gangwish Library and Gibson Student Center. This gift will benefit students for many years to come. Thank you Class of 1963!”
